Earning the Public’s Trust

“Public Deliberation” is a method of engaging community members to identify and implement approaches to increasing trustworthiness in biobanking.

We are learning about what people value; what concerns them; what they don’t understand; and what they think could improve in biobank research.

We believe these findings will have innovative applications for clinical and translational scientists.

Collaborating Across the Indiana CTSI

In addition to BSAP, several other programs are working together on our Public Deliberations. Find out how you can get involved with their work.

We will publish our findings soon. Check back for updates.
